Homes for autistic children

Autism specialist services, supporting young people on the autism spectrum with complex needs.

In England

We have two residential homes for children with autism, located in the pleasant seaside town of Southport. We provide a variety of packages of care and support, based on individual need.

We have strong links in the local community and support children and young people to access a wide variety of community-based activities to enhance their experience and support their development.

Some young people attend schools, but we are also able to provide alternative education for young people who find it difficult to attend a school building. Where required, we are able to provide bespoke alternative education packages through our close links with Peterhouse school.

Providing a real home

Our large staff teams provide 24-hour support 365 days a year and are conscious that each of our residents are unique, with differing personalities, interests, strengths and communication styles.

The staff attend ongoing autism training through-out the year and provide differing levels of support to each young person depending on their needs.

The staff promote choice every day as these are person centred services. We endeavour to get all our residents engaged with activities they enjoy both in the community and at the residences, but we are mindful that these are the children's home first and foremost and that downtime and fun are essential.
